Can carb#1 be swaped for carb #6 on a 98 Std

[Rusty Pipes]

 I am currently reuniting the carbs into an assembly. When I mate carb # 4 onto #6 they will not go completely together on the dowel pins. There is about an 1/8" gap. I find that the butterfly arm on carb 6 is hitting carb 4 sinc adjuster/flying spring arm. I can see wear marks on both arms so they were running like this. Someone has been in these carbs before. Has anyone here seen this interference before?  I am wondering if carb#1 and carb #6 have been switched around by a previous, ah-hum "mechanic" Thanks again folks.

Looking at the parts fiche for the carbs, it looks like each carb has a different part number. Starting with carb #1, the numbers increase from #1 to #6. See if you can find the numbers on each carb and go from there. For example, for a 1998 Tourer:

CARBURETOR ASSY. 1
16101-MZ0-A00

CARBURETOR ASSY. 2
16102-MZ0-A00

CARBURETOR ASSY. 3
16103-MZ0-A00

CARBURETOR ASSY. 4
16104-MZ0-A00

CARBURETOR ASSY. 5
16105-MZ0-A00

CARBURETOR ASSY. 6
16106-MZ0-A00

OK, good plan. I'll look into that. Thanks
